- Final video of the series in which I was hospitalized for a week and a half. Cancer pain is definitely no joke, infections are taken seriously and there truly is no place like home.

From Maria's Brother: comments are still pouring in! Thank you again, everybody, for your condolences and your support. I know a lot of people want to hear about things transpired in the last month of Maria's life. I'm not sure how we'll do that, but we will :) Can't believe it's been three months already, but we're getting through it. Life's ups and downs continue,,,
I'm so sorry to read this 😔 I just found Maria's videos today and have watched one after the other. Maria was an amazing, beautiful lady, I'm so sorry to know she's gone. God bless you all ❤ ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻 RIP Maria
Your sister is an amazingly strong human being and woman. Cancer is just not fair and we need a cure already.
Hugs & Blessings to you all. What a strong brave warrior sweet Maria was. Thank you guys for the updates,take good care & may peace be with you always💜
I miss her videos , thanks for the updates!!! 🙏✨✨🙏May God continue to comfort your family!!!!
We all absolutely adored Maria ❤
This is Maria’s Dad. As I post this, Father’s Day is tomorrow, and I find myself reflecting on how I always looked forward to receiving Maria's Father’s Day Card or call. Always reliably delivered, thoughtful and reflective of the Maria that she was. The reality of her passing continues to be difficult for the family, but in the typical Maria way of being we say emphatically that “We will survive!”. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers that read this. Thank you for your support.
Sending you love and very best wishes for Father's Day tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Father's day and know she's with you in spirit ❤
Happy Father’s Day!
My deepest condolences to you, and your family. 😔 God bless 🙌 🙏 you in this difficult time of grieving.
😔😢🙏
From Maria's Brother:
I'm sad to confirm that Maria passed away on February 11, 2023, in the
presence of her loving family. She is now in a better place, pain-free. Her
passing happened much faster than we were prepared for. Continuing with
Maria's spirit of transparency, we will post more details after the
services are finished.
I want to share how important you were to her - how energizing - and it's
an honor to see how important she was to you. Thank you so much for all
your concern.
By the way, Maria did attend the baby shower :)
See you soon,
and keep fighting!
Maria's brother
From Maria's Daughter:
As my uncle mentioned we will post more details once we
get through planning this week; ideally I’d like to share this last update
as she did via video, but not sure if that will be possible /we will need
to figure out how to access her account for that. Please bear with us in
the meantime and know that we have every intention on filling you in with
what happened these past few weeks and why an update was not able to be
made sooner.
This is Maria's brother. We're having lots of technical difficulties, sorry. Thanks to the youngest for making the post!
Rest in peace Maria
My condolences to the fam of Maria and her loved ones !! Thank you for sharing this difficult news !! I am sure she will dearly missed ! RIP Maria you can rest now ! Love Lillian 🌹🇳🇱
I am so sorry to hear that Maria has passed away. I have been watching her brave battle since her very first post. I have been checking pretty much every day since her last video update, and praying for her each and every day. I'm so glad she was able to enjoy the baby shower. Sending love and prayer for peace and comfort for your family.
My condolences to your family. I have been thinking about Maria and I have been checking here for an update once in a while. I’m so sorry, but now she is pain free. Rest in peace, Maria!
From Maria's Brother:
I am at the dining room table at Maria's house. Miss Harley is close by while her husband is going through seemingly endless paperwork with the radio tuned to classic rock. I will be visiting my parents soon after. We all have much to do.
The wake and the celebration were very difficult, but also very uplifting. We met or reunited with so many people who were touched by Maria's life, including powerful stories from clients whose lives she changed with her pro bono legal work.
We acknowledged this community. Maria's daughter mentioned you during a beautiful eulogy. And during the celebration, the pastor read out some of the comments of support coming from us.
Thank you so much, everybody. Your support has been so meaningful. You'll hear from us again. Meanwhile, comments will be re-enabled.
Maria's Brother
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Maria touched the lives of so many people. Incredible. Xx
Oh no , I am so so upset to learn of Maria’s passing, she was always so kind replying to comments, I loved how she always smiled in her videos regardless of how poorly she was. I will think of her often, it’s nice to know her youtube family were mentioned at her service, thank you. Im sending you all love from the UK 🇬🇧 XXXX
Missing her so much. She impacted the lives of so many who had never even met her in person. The connection definitely came from her replies to all of our comments. I find myself watching her videos just to see her face and hear her voice. I am still in disbelief that she is gone and so sad about it.
Please know that the family has so many prayers being sent up by those who cared so deeply for her. What a blessing she was.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace, Maria 🙏❤ You are finally free from cancer. Sending hugs to her family, who she loved so very much!
My condolences to your parents
Maria would speak with so much love
So very sorry
So concerned about her daughter having a baby
I think of Maria everyday, I prayed so much
I ask why , why her ,
Her family, career, so much
Again my heartfelt condolences 🙏
From Maria's Brother: I'm at Mom and Dad's, where we finally got Maria's computer working again. I will re-enable comments and catch up on everything. On behalf of the family, thank you everybody for all your support. By the way, I held the *cutest* little baby on Easter Sunday ;-)
Did Maria's daughter have her baby ? If so , tell her congratulations and that her mom would be smiling down at her . She was excited at becoming a grandma .
It’s so lovely to hear from you. I hope you are all doing as well as you can be. Oh what a lovely Easter gift ! I’m absolutely sure Maria was there too x 🙏❤️
Thank you! Congrats to Heidi -Baby has a beautiful Angel watching from above always. I think of Maria and the lessons she shared often while with my sis who has the same diagnosis & treatment team. I wear my OC Never Alone bracelet to honor them 💚💚You all are in my heart and prayers.
Someone is using her content to raise funds. This person is a scammer. I got a comment on a video yesterday & they copied one of her videos & created another RUclips channel called cancer journey. They also created a donation page called cancer Maria on donorbox. The link is in their channel description. People have already donated. This makes me sick. I've reported it to RUclips...but if you do as well it would be even better.
Congratulations on your sweet new baby !!! ❤
A message from Maria's Brother on behalf of the family.
We are disabling comments temporarily, so that we can concentrate on the upcoming days.
We know that you, Maria's supporters, will understand this choice. Thank-you for your outpouring of love and comforting remembrance. We know that you feel the loss, too.
We will be back soon.
My most heartfelt condolences to your entire family. I used to give dear Maria tipps with her pain management as I am not only a P.A but also a stage IV cancer survivor, thus I was ever so familiar with excruciating pain. I was given a 10% chance of survival but managed like Maria, to not give up but fight this cancer every step of the way. Against all odds I pulled through and I was praying that Maria's insatiable zest for life, her upbeat attitude would afford her the very same. She gave it her all.
It breaks my heart, she was looking forward to the birth of her granddaughter so much. Now she'll be there from heaven.
Thank you for letting us know, I will check back for the update through your family.
Requiescat in pace Maria 🙏🏻✝️📿🌿🌹
So very sorry to hear about Maria. Love to you from UK x
I'm so sorry for your loss
Praying for peace over your family right now, I am so sorry to hear that she passed. Our hearts are with you all ❤💐
So so sorry
I’m so very sorry for the loss of Maria .. I was praying for her, she was a beautiful, brave woman❤
Yeyyyy! So happy you went home! Praying for you!
You're looking fantastic! So happy for you getting discharged! When you get home is when you really start to get better and there's nothing like your own bed! ❤️
So happy you're getting out of there and so sad that you have so much pain. Wishing you every blessing.
I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this and I hope that things have gotten better for you. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to handle all of the treatments and emotions that are involved with fighting cancer.
So glad you finally got to go home and are feeling a little better. Prayers that it continues.
Thinking of you and sending lots of prayers for you. You got this!
I am so glad to hear this news! I have been checking every day too and there you are now! Nothing like our own bed and belongings and not being woken up for this or that like they do in the hospital. Have a great time at the shower and continued healing! xo
So glad you are back home! I continue to pray for you. Definitely take whatever you need to stay on top of the pain. It can be very difficult to get it to a manageable level again.
I’m so glad you are going home, keep fighting brave lady xxx
She was so adorable! I'm very sorry for your loss.

I just saw this announcement today and am so, so sad Maria lost her fight against this terrible disease. She fought so hard and I was praying she would beat this. I am now praying for strength and peace for her survivors - husband, children, parents, siblings, and friends. I am so sorry for all of you. She seemed like a wonderful person. ❤
When she died, the cancer died with her. She didn't lose, it's a draw.
❤❤❤dear family of Maria, I hope you are all coping. It was so sudden, the appearance of her disease,so virulent, relentless, an far too soon that she died. Will be hard for you to come to grips with. I still warch her videos... utubebrings them up, and I feel so close to her wonderful person. I think of her little dog... how is she or he?⚘🥰

I’m so very sorry…….such an inspiration to so many. She will be missed greatly. Prayers and love.
I'm going to Dana - Farber as well for treatment of Sarcoma. It is aggressive, rare, & mets to my lungs putting me in the 'no cure 15% chance of survival'. I feel so isolated in this, so I'm really glad I found your channel. You're an inspiration. Thank you for sharing so much!!
Hugs and prayers 🙏 ❤️

Happy that you’ve been release!
♥️
So happy you went home. Can't wait to hear about the baby shower and how your doing.
Checking everyday to see if you ok. Prayers and hugs
What a sweet, humble lady Maria was. I was very saddened to hear of her passing. Her positivity throughout her journey was very encouraging. Praying for her family.
So happy you are discharged home which I know is such a priority and of course the upcoming baby shower. I hope all is going well since your discharge and the pain management has been successful. My prayers are with you and I hope the transition back home went smoothly and you are feeling all the love and comfort that only being at home can bring.
A beautiful, gracious, gentle human being I wish Maria could have had her gorgeous dog with her. So very sorry that she did not make it. Sweet Dreams, Maria
She seemed to have the best spirit, she so wanted to live, she seemed like such a good spirited, smart, warm person. A decency that shined.
I just finished watching Maria’s last shared video. So happy she was going home that day. She was so excited, smiling brightly as she was thinking about cuddling with her pup, being at home again and with her family. So now that we’ve all been told of her short month of life that was remaining, we are grieving too. Maria was a very smart woman. Though she couldn’t know when, I believe she had an idea of where her life was trending and nevertheless did not stop living for a moment! She lived life to the fullest, enthusiastically and full of love. So glad she was able to attend her granddaughter’s baby shower! And when Maria approached her time of dying, she thought of her granddaughter with joy and peace, that she would know her even after death! My hope for Maria is that she had Hospice or some form of professional home care that kept her very comfortable. I also pray that her family felt something akin to joy and peace as their tears flowed freely. She is missed but unaware of loss or sorrow. Best of all, she is free from anxiety, fear, and constant pain! She won’t be forgotten. ❤
To Maria’s family ...Sorry for your loss .... what a great brave person she was
So sorry for your great loss I only seen your video and I will remember her and you all in my prayers.💗🙏
My deepest condolences to this beautiful ladies family❤ You are all in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼xxx
I am so glad you are getting to go home!
Great news. Set the alarm and keep ahead of the pain!
no place like home! Happy for you and you've got some fun stuff coming up so enjoy!
I'm so very sorry. She was so inspirational to all of us. ♥️♥️
I am so sorry to hear of Maria’s passing. Being pretty local to her in southern New Hampshire made me feel a little connected to her. I lost my mother of pancreatic cancer in 2005 and my mother-in-law also pancreatic cancer in 2019 so I know the struggles of chemo and hospital trips etc.. thank her for posting her journey as it’s helped a lot of people get through hard times.
I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer in 2019. I lost my brother to Osteosarcoma in 2008. Cancer is such an evil disease.
Seems like a super sweet lady. Sorry for her loss.
